Police get it wrong

I see in the Times-Herald that the Vallejo police did nothing to a woman who climbed onto the hood of a car and threatened the driver. Instead, the police put the driver of the car in jail, charging her with assault with a deadly weapon for stopping the car and throwing her off.

Are the Vallejo police telling everyone that damaging a car by jumping on the hood and threatening the driver is acceptable behavior? It is my belief that the one who jumped on the hood is the assaulting party -- and the one who should be in jail.

This is what is wrong with our society, and the police are as much to blame as the people who have no respect for the law and other people's property. The police in this case are sending the wrong message. They also ignore vandalism, and to me personally, have called it a civil issue between parties. This sends the wrong message to our youth and negligent parents, and must be changed if our society and respect for the law and others is to improve.
